Too much lamb.
Some fun pictures of the weekend's bacchanal at the in-laws.
A quick captioning of the photos in the link:
lamb, kokouretsi and Tony, lamb;
lamb, The Lovely One, Teo's daughter and Mike.
I feel pretty good considering how much food I ate. One highlight of the party was watching a cook take the lamb down into bite-sized pieces with a meat cleaver.

Day of the Zinger
I made my co-workers laugh, full-on and uncontrollably, for about 5 minutes today after pulling an unintentional pratfall as I tried to sit down.
But The Lovely One got the best lines of today:
"Good movies don't need to be re-made, because they were already made!"
"The British have Shakespeare, the Americans have Roddenberry."
That latter one in the context of Patrick Stewart's career, of course. (And Canadians have Shatner....)
Volunteerism
So I went and did my first stint of corner-work for the Tuesday Nighters. I wasn't bitter (well maybe a little), but I haven't ridden in the first two WTNC races now, and I haven't ridden a race since the minor fiasco that was my Harris-Roubaix experience about a month ago.
I want to get back in a race, now!!!
Weekend Update
Did anything happen on Saturday? I can't remember. Must have been a quiet day. No, wait, it was quite the opposite. First, I sold the motorcycle. I nearly got my asking price, which qualifies as both a minor miracle and a good deal for the buyer. The classic transaction where everyone was happy: I got rid of a valuable asset I wasn't using at all, he got a good deal on a good project.
There's a crack in my tooth
Yep. That's what the dentist told me. This was amusingly demonstrated by using the air-puffer tool and gingerly directing a shot of air at the afflicted tooth, leading to this hilarious sound effect sequence:
[puff!] "Uaah!"
You see, this is what happens when . . . well, I don't know what caused that thread to happen.
Mike was successfully married. My motorcycle was not successfully sold. The Dodge Viper is a powerfully fast vehicle.
Too much new stuff
This weekend I took nearly 100 photos, saw my brother get married, got to drive my brother-in-law's new A4 Quattro (with the 1.8 turbo motor), and got a ride in a new Dodge Viper.
More soon, I really mean it.
